Funny things about this game.

One day after playing SMAC on the harder levels, I desided to go back and play it on the easiest citizan. I did all I could too out tech the NPC's to such a degree, that one of the vendetta's I was in, a faction sent 12 jets too kill 1 of my super terraformer destroyers, and they all died, leaving my ship with only 10% health left.

ROLF!

The day a single construction ship won against a dozen fighter jets! HAHAHA! That would have to be so emberassing. Poor NPC faction.

christ what did you have it as 0-12-6*4 AAA against his regular 6-1-10 ?

[Chaos Theory]

On citizen, player-controlled units receive double attack and defense, and I wouldn't be surprised if the noncombat penalty were waived as well, if the terraformer would have suffered from it in the first place.

[jadenstriker]

Hum, that may explain a few things on why a super fungle former won. I did equipe it with the best armor i could at the time as well. I think I had 6 in armor by then as well as quantim singular power 4 vs fusion power 2. there was a massive tech gap between me and the NPC's as well as a massive project success gap. Most NPC's where demanding I give them fusion while I was working on the theroi of every thing and begun making my base to base mag tube interlink network. I think I was half way through connecting all 11 of my bases with mag tubes by that attack.

What does NPC mean? New acronym on me...

[Chaos Theory]

NPC = non-player character. In this case, the AI faction leaders.

heh, a MMORPG term I picked up. You would be surprised how many MMORPG players don't know what PM means. They get used to saying "send a /tell" or "PST" (please send tell).

Has anyone ever had a probe team without armor win against a normal unit? I know its rare, but its is possible...

[jadenstriker]

I don't use them often, so I rarely see a win or loss. So far the only wins I have seen where on civy difficalty and usually delt with mind worms.

[Chaos Theory]

I think probe teams without armor have a basic defense of .01, which further gets cut in half by the noncombat penalty. Miscellaneous modifiers can improve this a few times, but the only realistic way a probe team can defeat a unit is if the attacker has a single hit point left, and even that's rare, since the attacker's strength is effectively doubled, as a result of the odds formula.

[jadenstriker]

Does the Power Core of a unit moddify the units attack abilities and defense abilities?

(though I am not sure how you cannot understand the same thing from how it was stated last time)

[Chaos Theory]

Please rephrase your question intelligibly

[Mart]

Does anyone know, what is that problem with armor on ships? Recently I have checked some ship to ship fights and it seems armor does make a difference in some cases. In other it is like not existing. I remember also someone advised strongly not to equip ships in armor. Any observations?

on Guild Wars, I had to explain to somebody what 'spammy' meant ha.

MMORPG'S are fun. I used to be in SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) as a Commando when we were nerfed as heck. Then we were juiced up and everyone wanted to be one. Newbies were calling me a bandwagon person when I was one of the first people playing SWG and they were still artisans. But I digress.



I've never had a probe team beat a normal military faction. They must have some special gear or something if they are doing that.
